Bulbs and foliage as in A. odorum, from which it differs in the acutely ang 
scape, in the larger flowers with narrower sepals } in. long, and much shorter 
stamens.—The name humile being quite inappropriate, except for a very dwar 
state, I follow Baker in retaining Wallich’s, which commemorates the discoverer 
of the species.
